TcpMap

When running in INET mode, using tlink or the internal HTTP server, specifies the port(s) which will be monitored. by the MiniVend server. Default is 7786, which is mapped to the special mv_admin catalog.

To use the internal HTTP server (perhaps only for password-protected queries), you can map a catalog to a port. If you had three catalogs running on the server www.minivend.com, named simple, sample, and search, you might have in the directive:

    TcpPort   7786 mv_admin  7787 simple 7788 sample 7789 search

NOTE: To map large numbers of ports, you can use the <<MARKER here document notation in minivend.cfg.

With this in effect, the internal HTTP server would map the following addresses:

    http://www.minivend.com:7786   mv_admin
    http://www.minivend.com:7787   simple
    http://www.minivend.com:7788   sample
    http://www.minivend.com:7789   search

NOTE: This does not pertain to the use of tlink, which still relies on the CGI SCRIPT_PATH.

To enable this, the SCRIPT_PATH aliases /simple, /sample, etc. must be set in the Catalog directive. This would look like:

  Catalog  simple  /home/minivend/catalogs/simple /cgi-bin/simple /simple
